In some ways I feel like there's no such thing as a typical day.
Other times I think WHY IS EVERYTHING THE SAME ALL THE TIME?
Side note: At one point I thought I had Aspergers. I realize now I very much do not.
I like some change. Variety is the spice of life, or whatever. But it's always cool to look back at posts like this and see what you were doing when.
So here's today:
It's summer, which means not much is going on at work. I did get a lot accomplished, in that I sent out invitations to a big event I'm hosting this fall in Tampa, corresponded with students, picked up my P-Card (which was not able to be activated). However, some days I'm the only one in the building. That's a lot less fun.
7:15 - wake up, realizing no alarms went off, decide I can stay in bed another 15 minutes if I don't have to wash and blow dry my hair
7:30 - put dry shampoo in my hair before tucking it into a shower cap, take a quick shower and get ready for work
8:00 - leave for work, BF still sleeping at home because he "works from home" on wednesdays and thursdays. I don't really know what he does.
8:14 - arrive at work, realize I forgot my keyboard/mouse USB plug at home (the trackpad was glitching yesterday while I worked at home, so I figured taking it out wouldn't make the situation worse)
8:30 - 10:30 - Read emails, read websites, listen to audiobooks, decide what I should do next for my to-do list. Urgent emails come from boss, I crunch numbers and give him data he's looking for. Also create a shopping list for Publix. Sure, I'm leaving on vacation next week... but I get paid tomorrow and would like to take advantage of some killa bogos for the 4th.
10:45 - Walk across campus to get P-Card. It's uphill, so... cardio? Also I am a good 2 weeks late picking this bad boy up.
11:20 - Triumphantly walk downhill with P-Card after apologizing to the accounting lady profusely for missing her email.
12:00 - Leave to go home for lunch
12:15 - Get home, BF made paninis and salad. Sit on couch eating lunch, talking about news, cuddling with dog
12:50 - Fix a Tervis full of ice and head back to work.
1:05 - Back at work, sit and read emails, articles, listen to audiobook (end up forgetting what I listened to, so I go back and re-listen later)
2:00 - Send invitations to big event, respond to employer emails about said event, feel productive
3:30 - Tired, so I sit at my desk, read blogs, look at to-do list, debate ordering an Erin Condren planner.
Internal debate - I got a passion planner for like $10 a few months ago but for summer I just don't have that much going on, which in turn is causing me to lack motivation to use the planner. It's so scheduled out and I don't have a lot to schedule right now! It might be more useful during the school year (particularly for those times when I feel like I have more work than minutes sitting at my desk), but I still don't know that.
3:55 - Research "day in the life of an SLP", because I'm intrigued after talking to my cousin about her job when we met up over the weekend.
4:05 - Dad calls to update me on my uncle's test results. He has a swollen lymph node and we don't know much beyond that
4:15 - Phone call w/ an employer for 15 minutes about some intern positions he's trying to fill. Email 4 students the opporutnity to see if they're interested. Offer to review resumes and cover letters as needed.
4:45 - Hop on LinkedIn to read a few work articles, seeing what companies are coming to/leaving the area, who is hiring new workers, etc. Finish replying to employers (I don't mind making a student wait - particularly for a non-urgent response - but I don't like to leave employers waiting to hear back from me)
5:05 - Head home
5:20 - Arrive home, help Dan cook fried rice
6:00 - Start watching Sharknado 4, but realize it's the night of the Republican gubernatorial debate. Try to watch but it's nowhere on TV due to a shooting.
6:30 - Instead decide to apply window solar shade things ordered from Amazon (these). Help for a bit before realizing I'm too short to do much on these windows and leave Dan to complete the project.
7:30 - Laundry, watched videos, messed around online
8:30 - Took a bath
9:30 - In bed, watching TV before bed
